About ROME’S CHANCE

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Joanna Wylde comes a new story in her Reapers MC series…

Rome McGuire knew he was in trouble the first time he saw her.

She was sweet and pretty and just about perfect in every way. She was also too young and innocent for the Reapers Motorcycle Club. He did the right thing, and walked away.

The second time, he couldn’t resist tasting her.

Gorgeous and smart, fun and full of wonder, she jumped on his bike and would’ve followed him anywhere. Still, she deserved a shot at happiness somewhere bigger and better than a town like Hallies Falls. Walking away wasn’t so easy that time, but her family needed her and he had a job to do.

When she came around a third time, he’d had enough. Randi Whittaker had been given two chances to escape, and now it was time for Rome to take his.

This time, the only way Randi would be leaving Hallies Falls was on the back of Rome’s bike.

Review

4 stars!

This was a really sweet, fun and sexy read. A part of the Reapers MC series, this novella can easily stand alone, and I loved it.

It’s been eight years in the Reapers’ world since the last book, eight years since Randi Whittaker left her home town after a devastating wildfire, and eight years since she saw Rome McGuire. She’s back for her ten year high school reunion, but also to check in with her unwell mother and her two youngest siblings. And when she unexpectedly runs into Rome, her trip is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

Rome is a member of the Reapers’ MC, and he’s seriously happy that Randi is back in town. They knew each other years ago and only got to go on one date before she left town, but she left her mark on him and he’s never forgotten about her or their time together. Now she’s back, and Rome has no intention of letting her go again.

“This isn’t about getting laid, Randi. I just want it clear – I’m staking my claim. I missed out the first time we met. I won’t let it happen again.”

It’s by no means a unique set up, but it’s just so well done! Even though it was brief, Rome and Randi had something special once, and watching them rediscover all of that is so much fun. They are open with each other, the chemistry sizzles and the sexual tension is there from the very beginning. Rome’s sweet determination is fantastic, and his complete lack of filter is mildly outrageous but lots of fun, and underneath his epic sexiness, he has a huge heart, and he’s so gorgeous.

 

 

But Randi is only in town for a little while, and while she’s there she’s got some pretty serious things confronting her. How will they deal with their reunion? And will they ever get a true shot at the second chance they both want so badly?

I loved this story. It sucked me straight in, and it moves at a great pace, keeping me fully invested as Rome and Randi’s story unfolds. It’s sweet, sexy and fun with an unexpected storyline, and it’s a great read.

4 stars.

Excerpt

I couldn’t figure out what’d happened.

One minute I’d been having one of the most exciting sexual experiences of my life. The next my ribs were being crushed as Rome slammed into me. Then I was on my feet, trying to catch my breath, as people shouted all around us. The music had stopped. Thankfully, Rome’s big body formed a barrier between me and the rest of the room, because everyone else in the place had lost their minds.

For an instant, I thought maybe I’d be safe behind him. Then some guy in a cowboy hat launched toward us, fists flying. I don’t know what I expected, maybe that Rome would start punching him—you know, like they always do in movies—but instead he ducked, then started dragging me toward the bar. More shouting. I saw a man lift a chair and slam it down against another guy’s back from behind. The poor bastard went down hard, so hard that his head literally bounced on the floor. He couldn’t even get his hands up in time to break the fall.

This definitely wasn’t a movie.

I needed to get the hell out of here. Now.

Rome didn’t need to drag me any more—adrenaline had set in and sexy times were forgotten. My instincts said to run, and I wasn’t going to argue. Running wasn’t really possible, though, what with people and bottles and tables flying all around us.

It felt like it took an hour just to get across the room, although it was probably just a few seconds.  Nothing touched me. Every other step, he was pushing me to the side, standing over me, or slamming into someone to get them out of the way until we reached an opening at the far end of the bar. He shoved me down behind it, toward a group of women huddling under the safety of the ledge.

“Stay here and keep your head down!” he said, catching my eyes to make sure I heard him. “I’ll be back soon.”

With that, he left to wade back into the crowd.
